Breathe – Artwork by Caroline Martin

‘Breathe’ is an original acrylic and mixed media artwork on canvas panel by East Sussex artist Caroline Martin. Available at KATA in Tunbridge Wells, this contemporary abstract piece reflects the expressive yet calming quality that defines Caroline’s work.

Caroline’s practice is deeply influenced by water, sky, colour and the natural world. Working from her home studio in East Sussex, she develops her paintings intuitively, building up layers of acrylic and mixed media through expressive mark-making. Music and colour play an important role in her process, helping to guide the rhythm, movement and energy of each composition as it evolves.

The title ‘Breathe’ suggests a moment of pause, stillness and space. This sense of quiet reflection sits naturally within Caroline’s wider practice, where expressive movement is balanced by a feeling of serenity. Rather than presenting a literal landscape, her abstract approach leaves room for personal interpretation, allowing the viewer to form their own emotional connection with the artwork.

Created on canvas panel, ‘Breathe’ measures 44 x 54cm. Its proportions give the work a strong presence while remaining versatile enough for a wide range of interiors. It would sit beautifully in a living room, bedroom, hallway, study or any space where a considered piece of contemporary art can create a calm focal point.

Caroline Martin is known for creating one-off artworks that combine layered surfaces, colour and expressive mark-making with an underlying sense of balance. Her paintings encourage a slower look, with different details and relationships within the composition revealing themselves over time.

‘Breathe’ is a distinctive choice for collectors looking for original contemporary abstract art with a thoughtful, serene character and the individuality of a one-off work.
